Hi Y'all,

Happy Holidays!!!!

Is Golden Granulated sugar the same as brown sugar? I was surprised to find yet another sugar in my cookbook.

Thanks for the help!

I think that golden granulated sugar is "raw" sugar, or turbinado sugar. It's dark like brown sugar but flows like granulated sugar. The dark color comes from the molasses, that is a by-product of the sugar making process. It has a more intense almost nutty flavor to it. It is good but I wouldn't be for subbing it in recipes that call for regular white granulated sugar.

Thought I saw this thread before:
